Ep. 59: Team GB Sprinter Rio Mitcham - The Life Of An Athlete & Artist

In this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with Team GB 400m sprinter and one half of the Smokiecoco rap duo, Rio Mitcham.Rio and I went through his whole career both in athletics and music so far. I learned a lot about the technicalities of sprinting, which I appreciated Rio’s education on.What I took away most from the conversation however, were the insights Rio shared on his mindset and the emotions that come with being an athlete and performing at a high level. It was also interesting to learn about how his relationship with music both differs from and helps with his athletics career.I hope you enjoy and find value in the conversation.Our Sponsors…Roam BarsFuel yourself with Roam’s grass-fed beef bars. 17 - 20g of protein for less than 150 calories per bar.
